  • Right Place, Right Time…

    I was going to borrow a trailer from a good friend the other night. As I backed the Element into the driveway (where a dozen Brats were smoldering in the Green Egg) I noticed something that was foreign, but somehow oddly familiar. A mutual acquaintance had picked up a mystery bike on Bring-A-Trailer. Not thinking I’d ever see one in the flesh, this was quite the experience for me. Great story behind the Ronin 47 as you’ll see in the attached link.

    Bid for the chance to own a 2009 Ronin 47 at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #115,596.

    Our Hawks have all the power any mature, sensible rider can use on any street or highway without carrying around excessively unnecessary big-bore weight and power - squirrelman

    Bike builds can be and most time are art and expression. To take something mass produced and impersonal and make something personal that you can't stop staring at as you walk away. There is nothing I find more satisfying than looking at something cool and beautiful and thinking "I made that". - 6

          Very unique. I like the exersize in styling but I also like Buell's look in standard forms.

            B/C we all know that deep down inside, Jerry wants/needs more of a good thing . Here’s one in white/sliver that allows for more contrast, therefore easier (to my eyes) to pick out the details…
